1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.

3The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

4But he answered, "It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.`"

5Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, `He will give his angels charge concerning you.` and, `On their hands they will bear you up, So that you don`t dash your foot against a stone.`"

7Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, `You shall not test the Lord, your God.`"

8Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

9He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."

10Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.`"

11Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

12Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

13Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

15"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

16The people who sat in darkness saw a great light, To those who sat in the region and shadow of death, To them did light spring up."

17From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."

18Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

19He said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers for men."

23Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

24The report about him went forth into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.

25Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and from beyond the Jordan followed him.
